I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESSAGENDA
A. Bid Award: 2016 Overlay and Repair Program
Staff is seeking Council approval to award a bid to Lakeside Industries in the amount of
$1,277,956.80 for construction of the 2016 Overlay and Repair Program. Lakeside was the low
bidder of four, after an error was discovered in another bidder's proposal. Chair Robertson
and Council President Duffie gave prior approval to the Committee to forward this item to the
May 16 Consent Agenda, thereby allowing construction to start earlier as the project is weather
dependent. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MAY 16, 2016 REGULAR CONSENT
AGENDA.
Miscellaneous: Councilmember Seal mentioned a few street related comments were brought
to her attention at her recent Council Chat, including protruding manholes on the new
improved Interurban Ave S, the noise from the rumble stripes on S 124th St, racing on 42nd
Avenue South in Allentown, and parking in front of mailboxes. Staff will address the manholes
with Walsh Construction. The new SPRINT (Speed Reduction in Neighborhoods of Tukwila) will
combat racing and excessive speeds, and parking in front of mailboxes is a violation that the
resident can report to the Police Department. Councilmember Quinn asked if streamlined
permitting is a strategy used by the City, particularly with regard to a future Sound Transit
project. Staff confirmed that it is considered and implemented depending on the project.
Chair Robertson asked when 42nd Avenue South under SR 518 will be closed. There are design
issues relating to storm water detention that will delay the project and closure by a year. Staff
will brief the committee on the 42nd Ave S project schedule.

B. Residential Street Improvements Prioritization Study
Staff updated the Committee on preliminary results of the Residential Street Prioritization
Project developed for the City by Perteet Engineering. The updated tool integrates plans such
as the Walk and Roll Plan and Safe Routes to School while updating the formulas previously
used bythe City. The formula includes eight physical characteristics (such as pedestrian volume
and shoulderwidth) and calculates a priority value for each street section. This is one tool that
can help the Council determine investments in sidewalk and street improvements in the
upcoming budget cycle. Previous street improvement priorities, 42nd Avenue Phase III and 53rd
Avenue South, are in design and construction is scheduled for 2017. Committee members asked
clarifying questions and requested that school routes be reflected in the notes column. The
Committee also requested a map showing the streets with the 20 highest priority values. The
Committee will discuss prioritization in the future using this tool. DIRECTION APPROVED FOR
STREET PRIORITIZATION LIST, RETURN TO COMMITTEE WITH REQUESTED ITEMS.
